Calling all jackfruit lovers! This Smoky Tahini Jackfruit Pizza is BIG on flavor! Plus, the jackfruit has been infused with smoky, creamy tahini….you DO NOT want to miss this plant-based pizza!
Simple Ingredients
This pizza is easy to make and it only requires 8 wholesome ingredients. If you currently follow a vegan diet, you probably have almost all of these ingredients on hand right now. Here is exactly what you will need:
- Pizza dough
- Jackfruit
- Tahini
- Maple Syrup
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- Liquid Aminos
- Liquid Smoke
- Onion
A Crispy Gluten-Free Crust
First things first, make the crust. To save time, pre-made pizza dough can be used. However, we like Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Pizza Crust. It bakes up crispy, crunchy, and full of flavor thanks to the combination of gluten free flours. Plus, it only needs 20 minutes to rise so it can easily be whipped up even on a weeknight.
Once the dough is ready, roll it out on a sheet pan and pre-bake the crust. This will help to make it nice and crispy just like traditional pizza crust!
Perfect Pizza Toppings
Next, it’s time for the smoky tahini jackfruit and caramelized onions! While the crust is pre-baking, caramelize the onions and mix the separated jackfruit with the smoky tahini sauce, But don’t use it all! The key to this super creamy and filling pizza is having extra sauce to drizzle on top. YUM, YUM, YUM!!!
It can also be garnished with a handful of fresh basil leaves. We love the contrast of fresh basil against the smoky jackfruit. However, it’s also great without, so it’s up to you!
